Kingswood Golf Centre

Possibly a place on the up as there is clearly a lot of money being spent on facilities and the lodges, which are active work sites. The greens are bone dry, bobbly, browned and cracked. They haven’t seen meaningful water for weeks or possibly even months but are just about playable. No rakes in bunkers and ball cleaners are rare. The course is however great value even with these things in mind. It has a good variety of holes and plenty of water to watch out for. Currently not rated for WHS/handicaps but there is a lot of potentially here, hopefully with a winter of investment. Very friendly and welcoming pro shop staff and they do a round and pint deal for £20.

This is the worse course iv ever played to say it’s privately owned iv played better council courses! The greens well csnt call them that as it was just bumpy mud! Never again will I play here! It’s less than a one star!

Staff club and fair ways where spot on, needs need a lot of work but overall good for the price

The entrance and staff were incredibly friendly

The tees and fairways aren’t the best

But

Wait until you get to the first green (we renamed them BROWNS)

These haven’t seen a green keeper in years

Sadly they don’t get any better

Won’t be returning until I here they have a green keeper

Local course and I've played here many times. Last few years it was really going down hill and the lack of maintenance was obvious. However following a recent and obvious investment I was hopeful things would be turned around. The club house has been refurbished, as has the driving range, the mini golf and there was some new nice looking buggies. They have bought lots of expensive green keeping equipment and closed for 2 weeks so I was hopeful the greens would be better.

However, the greens still continue to be a problem. Some on the front 9 have definitely got better but the back 9 greens are awful. They are all sandy, bobbly and the 18th was full of duck excrement. No point getting putter out unless you are within 3 feet.

It is a real shame because it's otherwise a good challenging course. However it seems the recent investment as been more focused on making it a better scenic environment for the lodges (which I'm sure are super profitable) rather than sorting the greens out. I honestly think they'd be better off closing back 9 and using the space to put more lodges on and focus on making the front 9 greens better condition.

Spent some money on grass maintenance, driving range, shop, bar & buggies. Looks great. Desperate for some attention to the greens though. Overall 4 stars, could easily be 5 once greens are sorted.

New course. Will be better in a month or so. Will play again in future.

Great layout and on doorstep for me’ needs some rakes for the bunkers

Good set up with plenty of water hazards, greens need another month of weathering after being scarified.

Simple things letting the course down such as no yard markers, no rakes in the bunkers or signs directing to next tee.

A lot of dog leg holes would benefit from a marker pole in fairway or a hole plan on card or on the tee.

I think the course has been taken over recently so hope to see a big improvement next visit.

This corse was dog shhh , rough ground on teen box fairway and greens.

Was like playing in shrecks swamp. Litter all over doesn't seem to be looked after ,no map of corse on score card no signs directing you to the next hole.

Not good for any leavle of golfer might be better playing Wii sports.

Played this course for the first time earlier this month and found it the best we have played for the money. Obviously it was wet but still enjoyed playing here. Could do with better signage to find your way round and maps of each hole would help. Also, no coloured posts for water and out of bounds which would help. A few simple changes would make it better. Greens were a bit long but it has been wet so hopefully soon better weather will mean the greens and fairways will get a cut but overall we really enjoyed playing here.

After a long absence from golf, I put on my big boy trousers and hit this course.

I was a bit concerned regarding recent reviews but was plesently suprised. The tees, faiways, rough were kept in an excellent condition. There was the occasional missing rake in a bunker, and some of the greems were looking tired but most where in a good condition for the price point of the course.

There was no goose poo to be seen, however my only concern was the couple who had a dog and was picnicing on one of the holes.

Staff are incredibly friendly, lots of parking and the option to have a drink after.

Would have no issues going back

Following cold temperatures and harsh frosts , course was on main tees and greens , during round course began to thaw ,became a bit boggy ,but still some run on the ball .

For the time of year , just what we expect in this area , similar price band to other clubs with same conditions

Over the last probably 6 years we have been travelling to Kingswood and always had a great time a few months ago we came down to play and was a little shocked on the standard it was , it was a right mess on the course but we put it down to weather conditions as it was throwing it down , today we went thinking it would be in great condition after the hot weather and then the rain the last few days ,but no we was wrong , the tee boxes were terrible the greens were like putting on a fairway just long over grown patchy not looked after at all , the buggy we hired ran flat after 9 holes which we then decided to call it a day , I did speak to a few players who said that they are looking to sell the course so maybe it's being run down to sell for building land , because as a golf course it won't sell ,

Opinion it will be a very long time before we travel again down from Leeds to play it , Thorne next door is amazing go there instead ,

1st time playing this course, tee boxes very untidy hardly any grass on them,some were just dust, greens poor condition very yellow,very bobbly (unstandable with the hot weather recently. Course generally untidy not very well kept. Could be a great course with some TLC ,oh and lots of goose #### all over the course

Poorly kept. No signs to tell you where to go from greens to tees, no rakes in bunkers, no real fairways and more goose droppings and weeds on the greens than grass,

Good course, it seemed there was a turn up and play policy which meant despite being on the tee on time we were waiting for a four ball and a two ball who arrive on the box before we did. The course itself is lovely to play especially considering the weather. For £18 it’s ok but with some investment this could be a really nice place.

Tee boxes are terrible in winter and wet conditions, in desperate need of winter tee mats.

I’ve played Kingswood numerous times, more so between 2018 & 2019. It has always had fantastic staff, a great clubhouse, but the course is a different story.

The course has the layout of an excellent challenge. With water, perfectly placed bunkers, and some tricky and undulating greens. However, it has always been in terrible condition. The majority of holes there is no fairway or second cut it is just all grass cut the same length and the greens clearly can’t be treated specifically as it is basically fairway but cut to a lower level.

Anyway, I’ve always felt the course needed to mature slightly and gave it a fair chance. This weekend I returned and was excited for the progress it may have made over the past two years. I’m afraid it was worse! Some tee boxes were that poor quality they would struggle to pass as a public footpath, fairways with potholes on, and greens with disease, burnt out patches, bare patches, and some areas clearly uncut. Pins held together with electrical tape due to them being snapped/damaged, and worst of all they have the cheek to charge £21 for 18 holes.

This course has amazing potential. The layout & variety is superb but it seriously needs someone to actually look after it and spend some money on it. Our four ball all agreed they surely can’t have a groundsman with the state of play currently. If they have then they need to be having words!
